STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

In our digital world, data is power, and information hoarders reign supreme. Their practices are analogous to those of cartels. Lamdan brings us into the unregulated underworld of the "data cartels," demonstrating how the entities mining, hoarding, commodifying, and selling our data and informational resources perpetuate social inequalities and threaten the democratic sharing of knowledge.

UBC PRESS

UBC PRESS

Explains why the Supreme Court of Canada’s jurisprudence considering the constitutionality of criminal laws fails to strike a principled balance between the need to increase the coherency of the criminal law while maintaining the legitimacy of judicial review. This book calls for an overhaul of the way the Supreme Court has developed the relationship between criminal and constitutional law.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

In this third edition, and with new chapters on the border policies of the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations, Border Games continues to help readers grasp how the busiest border in the world is also one of the most fortified, and why it plays such a complicated and contentious role in both domestic politics and USMexico relations.

Addresses why presidents choose—or don’t choose—to diversify the federal courts by race, ethnicity, and gender. She explores how and why the issue became a bitter partisan fight in the first place, tracking the controversial history—and politics—of court diversification. Scherer illuminates the complicated relationship between diversity and court legitimacy.

Weide considers how the capitalist economy, the race concept, and nationalist ideology have made gang members the instruments of their own oppression, resulting in racialized sectarian conflicts spanning generations between African American and Latino gangs in Los Angeles and California’s prisons.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS

Although it is nearly invisible to the public, the massive informant market shapes the American legal system in risky and sometimes shocking ways. Natapoff provides a comprehensive analysis of this powerful and problematic practice. By delving into the secretive world of criminal informants, Snitching reveals deep and often disturbing truths about the way American justice really works. Excludes Taiwan, Japan, SE Asia & ANZ

Developing a theory of political trials, Ertür begins by reconstructing and building on a legacy of critical thought on Nuremberg in close engagement with theories of performativity. She then offers original case studies that introduce a different perspective by looking beyond the Holocaust trials, to the Armenian genocide and its fragmentary legal aftermaths. 3

How We Learn to Fear Crime and Why It Matters Nicole E. Rader

Life and Law in Delhi's Courts Mayur R. Suresh

TEMPLE UNIVERSITY PRESS

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS

How rules about safety and the fear of crime are learned and crystalized into crime myths especially for women. Based on in-depth research and family studies, Rader reveals the dubious and dangerous origins of many of the most prominent safety guidelines that teach young girls to be more afraid of crime.

In an ethnography of terrorism trials in Delhi, the author shows how those charged with terror engage with legal technicalities. The book shows how the ordinary procedures that lie at the heart of the trial are the mode through which human expressiveness and vulnerability emerge in the face of the law.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS

Proposes groundbreaking, fundamental reform for the adversarial legal system to keep innocent people from going to prison: plausibly innocent people may now plead innocent and require the government to search for exonerating facts; in return, they will be required to waive their right to remain silent, speak to government agents, and participate in a search for truth.

UBC PRESS

The High North brings together, for the first time, activists, advocates, and academics to evaluate the opaque origins and muddled legacy of cannabis legalization in Canada. Featuring contributions from cannabis scholars and “practitioners,” activists and advocates, these pieces examine public policy on cannabis, assess consumer perceptions, and revisit the history of the legalization movement.

Everyday Policing and Insecurity in Miami Thijs Jeursen

Local Politics and the Rise of Mass Incarceration Melanie Newport

How the problematic behavior of private citizens— and not just the police force itself—contributes to the perpetuation of police brutality and institutional racism. This book illustrates how a focus on individualized responsibility for security exacerbates and legitimizes existing inequalities, a situation that must be addressed to end institutionalized racism in politics and the justice system.

While state and federal prisons like Attica and Alcatraz occupy a central place in the national consciousness, most incarceration in the United States occurs within the walls of local jails. In This Is My Jail, Melanie D. Newport situates the late twentieth-century escalation of mass incarceration in a longer history of racialized, politically repressive jailing.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS

Virtual Searches develops a useful typology for sorting through this bewildering array of old, new, and soon-to-arrive policing techniques. It then lays out a framework for regulating their use that expands the Fourth Amendment’s privacy protections without blindly imposing its warrant requirement, and that prioritizes democratic over judicial policymaking.

In Science as a Cultural Human Right, Helle Porsdam argues robustly for the role of the right to science now and in the future.

It offers the basis for defending the free and responsible practice of science and ensuring that its benefits are spread globally.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

Drawing on research with perpetrators of genocide, mass violence, and enforced disappearances in Cambodia and Argentina, this book explores how researchers go about interviewing and writing about perpetrators, but also processing their own emotions and how the personal and interpersonal impact of this research informs the resulting texts.
